How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Yesterday was busy but wonderful. Baked additional cookies in the morning and started sprucing up the house a bit, went to neighbor's baby's first birthday party for a couple of hours, then back home to continue prepping for our kids and grands to come over for kickoff to pizza/cookie season. It was a good opportunity to catch up because it was just us, our kids and our grands.

As always, DH & I clean everything up completely before going to bed so we wake up to a clean house.

Today we're just chillaxing. :cool:
 
Long day but productive.

Sundays are not the best for train travel here. So it took me three trains to get the town I'd been booked to photograph their Santa Parade and Christmas lights switch on event. Headlined by 90s pop stars East 17. They were pretty good I thought. Then more train woes over three more trains and 6 seats to get home.

Enjoying a few beers now and editing 1,500 shots for a 9am press deadline.

Contemplating starting a Moving Furniture thread, sort of like What Have You Bought Recently. Gonna make sure I only post about scones on the Food & Drinks thread and about playing in the dirt on the Home thread. Don't want to chance stepping on any toes. Jussayin'

perhaps you should, if you're going to go into graphic details.... perhaps you'd be more welcome there...
 
@packleader, that was so sweet to welcome your wife home with roses, baklava, and persimmons! Is she home now? I hope she enjoyed Rome. I have several friends who have made pilgrimages there, and they raved about it.

It's a lovely day here, sunny and 55 (12 C), so I am heading out on what likely will be my last outdoor walk for awhile. On Monday night and into Tuesday, temperatures are supposed to plunge into the teens, and I see the National Weather Service's favorite phrase, "Patchy blowing snow," is in the forecast.

I should get some work done later, but I will probably be lazy and put on a movie.

I agree about those lovely gifts @packleader laid out for his beautiful wife.... she's a lucky lady..... ..I hope she had a wonderful trip
 
DIL strongly encouraged me to go to Arts and Crafts. She said she would hang my masterpiece on her refrigerator alongside my grandson’s! Funny. Anyway glad I went! The young woman who ran it played music from my youth and turned out she is a huge Beatles fan and I enthralled her with my stories of the three concerts I attended. I love when our youth appreciates our music
Did one painting of flowers. Another one I just colored. Very therapeutic. My DIL Has good ideas. Yesterday she urged Bingo and glad I listened to her then.
My DIL quite a remarkable and accomplished woman.
 
People! Be nice! (For some reason, probably just-onset dementia, I find all this funny.) Or I will volunteer you to go driving with my son.

This is the man who was about to rear end the car in front of him. I said, that car is going slower than you are. He said, So, I'm going the speed limit. I said, you are going to hit him. Maybe I have dementia-by-association with my son. I hope I didn't just turn this post into a health topic!

This is a 21 year old car, 107,000 miles on it, only driven (until now) by my mom, me, and my daughter. Looks brand new. The goal is that a female in my immediate family will drive it until at least 200,000 miles ... and that it will still look new.

well my car the one that was totalled in July with me in it... had 148k on the clock..... and it still looked in great condition and I'd still have it now if it hadn't been for a lunatic driver....

I haven’t posted on this thread in a while, so I’m not quite sure what all the spitting is about and frankly, I don’t care. I have better things to do than to be contentious on a forum. If that were my intent, I would join a political forum, but I hate politics.

anyway, I did get my 250 pounds of horse feed out of the car and into the garage. It’s still not completely put away but it’s in the garage and that will work for now.

I was harboring the false notion that I would still feel good enough to air up the flat tire on one four wheeler, for the second time. And pull the battery out of the other four wheeler because I’m pretty sure it’s dead.

If the tire goes flat again, that can only mean the tire somehow lost its bead, and that means pulling the💩💩💩💩 thing off, throwing it in the trunk of the car and getting it fixed. Sounds easy when I write it out, but it isn’t easy for me anymore.

The battery on the other four wheeler is only 2-3 years old but when the kids were here, they checked the battery discovered the stink bugs had made a huge nest around it and shorted it out somehow someway.

My nephew charged it up and used it every day he was here, but I have let it sit since he went home and I don’t don’t think it’s holding a charge. I’m almost afraid to open the case because I might find more stink bugs in there again. He said he’d never seen anything like that in his entire life working on the farm.

At any rate, I’m hoping I can at least get the battery out of the one four wheeler tonight so I can take it to town with me, when I have to go tomorrow.

@jujube Is it okay if I'm green with envy? I wish that about a half a gazillion of my family members could all get together again. Like the cousins that I grew up with? That would be so fun and interesting to hear what they've all been doing all these years.

@Mizmo and @hawkdon and @Trish et al: I made dough for cranberry/orange scones. It's in the fridge and ready to bake in the morning.

I'm usually up by 7 latest. Y'all c'mon. I'll put the coffee on...
